Nusra claimed the attack was in revenge for the Syrian government's attacks on Sunnis in the Syrian civil war, and for a bombing of Sunni mosques that was blamed on Alawites.http://www.dailystar.com.lb/News/Lebanon-News/2015/Jan-10/283682-explosions-heard-in-tripolis-jabal-mohsen-several-wounded-source.ashx North Lebanon suicide attack kills nine The Daily Star Newspaper - Lebanon The interior minister of Lebanon, Nohad Machnouk, said on January 11 that the attack was carried out by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.https://www.reuters.com/article/us-lebanon-attack-idUSKBN0KK0KS20150111 Islamic State carried out Lebanon cafe attack - minister Reuters 11 January 2015 11 January 2015 Perry, Tom Reaction The US strongly condemned the attack.http://www.naharnet.com/stories/en/162521-u-s-strongly-condemns-deadly-jabal-mohsen-bombing U.S. 'Strongly Condemns' Deadly Jabal Mohsen Bombing Naharnet On January 11, the Qalamoun branch of the Nusra Front threatened to conduct more attacks against Jabal Mohsen and Hezbollah.http://www.naharnet.com/stories/en/162593-nusra-to-hizbullah-jabal-mohsen-we-ll-strike-you-in-your-heartlands Nusra to Hizbullah, Jabal Mohsen: We'll Strike You in Your Heartlands Naharnet 29 May 2016 On 10 April 2015, one of the men implicated in the bombings was killed by Lebanese security forces.http://www.naharnet.com/stories/en/174908-security-forces-arrest-hoblos-kill-fugitives-in-tripoli Security Forces Arrest Hoblos, Kill Fugitives in Tripoli Naharnet 29 May 2016 A suicide bombing was also supposed to have taken place in another Jabal Mohsen café simultaneously with the 2015 Beirut bombings on November 12, but the supposed bomber was detained.http://www.naharnet.com/stories/en/194385-report-possible-link-between-tripoli-detainee-and-bourj-barajneh-suicide-bombers Report: Possible Link between Tripoli Detainee and Bourj Barajneh Suicide Bombers Naharnet 29 May 2016 References Category:2015 murders in Lebanon Category:21st century in Tripoli, Lebanon Category:21st-century mass murders in Lebanon Category:2015 building bombings Category:Attacks on coffeehouses and cafés in Asia Category:Crime in Tripoli, Lebanon Category:January 2015 crimes in Asia Category:January 2015 in Lebanon Category:2015 mass murders Category:Persecution of Alawites Category:Suicide bombings in 2015 Category:Suicide bombings in Lebanon Category:Terrorist incidents in Lebanon during the Syrian civil war Category:Terrorist incidents in Lebanon in 2015 Category:Building bombings in Lebanon Category:Restaurant bombings in Asia Category:Violence against Shia Muslims in Lebanon
